Find Success by Trying Something New

March 03, 2014

Do you ever find yourself following the same process or using the same solution simply because it’s the way you’ve always done it? But what if there was a better, more efficient solution? Performing repetitious activities not only becomes mundane, but it may possibly hinder you from finding greater success. How would you know if a better solution existed if you didn’t try it out? Here are three reasons to try something new.

1. Challenge your skills and abilities. By trying something new, you may challenge what you already know. For example, if you’re used to networking with people at a coffee shop, try meeting people throughout your day. It may be a challenge to talk to people wherever you are, but you can find new opportunities. You can also learn new skills, which will help you be successful in other aspects of your life.

2. Spark Innovation. In a fast changing world, innovative ideas are essential to success. Trying something new may help you develop a more efficient way of doing something or identify other processes that need revamping. Helping someone on your team discover a new process or idea may spark something new for another team member or group.

3. You can always go back. If you realize that your new activity is less efficient or creates additional road blocks, then simply adjust it a little or return to your former process. Anything you gained or learned from your new activity can be applied to what you already know and may help in future situations.

As you try something new one time, it will be easier to do it a second time. Soon you will instinctively always be looking for new ideas and methods that will help you be more successful..
